Why so sad?Walking around with them blue facesShe said I'm down on my luckAnd it's something I gotta haveBlue facesI hit the bank today and told them color me badBlue facesGet that new money, and it's breaking me down honeyTwo tears in the bucket I cry with youBut I could never lie with youI could never afford not to affordI could never put my plans to the side with youI could never see a red lightLike a deer with a headlightI freeze up when I re-upSee I barely have patienceAnd you're relatingOnly the moment to complete usWhy you hate to work for it?The reason I never went to work for itSee a nine to five was so jive turkeyBut when Thanksgiving came that check didn't hurt meYou plead the fifthI read the fifth amendmentWe both criminals with bad intentionsThey say time heals allBut if I can shortcutMy success, Corvettes by tomorrowWhy so sad?Walking around with them blue facesShe said I'm down on my luckAnd it's something I gotta haveBlue facesI hit the bank today and told them color me badBlue facesGet that new money, and it's breaking me down honeyMy home girl got a credit card scamShe got a scholarship to college but she don't give a damnIntuition she got a broke bitch wishin'She tell me this on the phone with the noodles in the panI know you, woman, I console you, womanYou feel like the universe owes you, womanOh the anticipation, of hoping you could make itBitches don't prosper chasing educationBut you're talented, and can't handle itAnd your homegirls can't be your manager365 times four, plus moreIf yan't get it right, tell me, do you got the stamina?But shit, ain't no money like fast moneyEven today I'm considered a crash dummyA rapper chasing stardom, how can I fast forward?My accolades better than all themWhy so sad?Walking around with them blue facesShe said I'm down on my luckAnd it's something I gotta haveBlue facesI hit the bank today and told them color me badBlue facesGet that new money, and it's breaking me down honeyI wrote this song looking at a broke home babyYou know the poverty stricken the little broke boy and babiesSomebody yell "Kendrick American, they sho' is crazy"And I said “why? ”Then he looked me in the eye, and said "nigga you fucked up"You're banking on good luck, you wishing for miraclesYou never been through shit, you're crying hystericalYou settle for everything, complain about everythingYou say you sold crack, my world amphetamineYour projects ain't shit, I live in a hut bitchI'm living to keep warm, you living to pay rentI paid my way through, by praying to AllahYou played your way through, by living in sci-fiBullshitting yourself, you talking to strangersSame thing goes for the ones you came withWhen y'all came on the boat looking for hopeAnd all you can say is that you're looking for dopeThese days ain't no compromiseYour pain ain't mines half the timeA brand new excuse ain't shit to meBitch I made my moves, with shackled feetCape TownIn today's day and ageWe practice the self pity of taking the easy way outYou wait on them, him and herBut when a blessing takes long, that's when you go wrongYou selfish motherfuckerWhy so sad?Walking around with them blue facesShe said I'm down on my luckAnd it's something I gotta haveBlue facesI hit the bank today and told them color me badBlue facesGet that new money, and it's breaking me down honeyPimp pimp hooray
